A couple of years ago, I switched off the radio during my daily commute and turned on audio books (through Audible). I’m usually in the car about an hour a day, and a typical book is about 10 hours. So, one book a month is more than reasonable. Here are my top 15 favorite audio books based on a mix of entertainment value, substance, and pure enjoyment. There’s not a huge delta between #1 and #15 – these are all worthwhile books to listen to.

Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand: An epic story of survival that made me wish my commute wouldn’t end.

The Last Lecture, by Randy Jeffrey: I won’t lie – shed some tears during this one.
